HumanMachine is Piotr Mirowski’s alter-ego Albert. He will be sharing the stage with a computer called A.L.Ex and a remote hacker friend mYlez (played by Kory). Albert draws his performance from Improbotics, and is a member of a large cast of human improvisers taking their lines from an AI. For this performance, the audience plays the role of judges in a Turing test.
Piotr's collaborator in today’s performance is Kory, a PhD student at the University of Alberta and an award-winning improv comedian.
